For my final design, I am pretty set on an final aesthetic, but I created additional ones in case I change my mind. Overall, I want to have streamers or some kind of material that would attach to the sides of the cup holder making it look as if they are flapping in the wind…

These are examples of pen and pencil holder with different aesthetics. The first one is a rounded aesthetic. This one is very nice but is only possible to manufacture with the use of a CNC lathe. I think it has very nice features and is probably my favorite. Due to the fact that it is…

After looking into a number of 20th century design movements I feel as though I have a more clear goal as to how I want my finished jewelry box to look. There were two 20th century design movements that really helped narrow down what design I wanted to incorporate into my project, and those design…

I explored a few of the 20th Century Design movements both on the fish tank portion and the drawer portion of my project. I wanted to keep the functionality of my project for both the drawer and the fish tank. To keep the upside down aesthetic as well as a new aesthetic is quite challenging….

I think my final book will have a very symbolic aesthetic, as it is difficult to create fine details with origami. Simple shapes and colors will represent places, people, and things. For this blog post, I played around with different aesthetics for my project. To start things off clean and simple, I portrayed the book…

For casting my design in three other aesthetics, I focused on changing the front pocket design to incorporate other aesthetics. The three aesthetics I used were Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and a turtle’s shell. The art deco design was inpired by a pattern I found while doing research. The pattern was a matrix of diamonds…

My Aesthetic: I would like to keep the aesthetic of my shipping pallet garden as simple as possible. The medium stained pine wood and use of sanding allow it to have a rustic feel, while the chalkboard paint induces a childish feel and a nostalgia of grade school days. The garden is not eccentric in any way, on the…

Here are the 3 20th century aesthetic I chose for this blog, the Bauhaus chair actually gave me some new ideas on trying out some different structures, not sure if the Steampunk one is actually Steampunk though…

For my project, I will be creating a side table with laser etched circuit board designs. The aesthetic I am going for is minimalism meets electronics. The 3 20th Century design variations I decided to sketch were De Stijl, Bauhaus, and Art Deco. For De Stijl, the side table needed to be very colorful with mostly…

My aesthetic goal remains steadfast: to embody the “naturalist aesthetic” in the process of fabricating my bamboo fly rod designs. In a nutshell, I would love to be able to design a rod that that embraces the same aesthetics as the natural world that it intended to be used in. Several examples I have speculated…

This blog post will show my lamp design portrayed in several different 20th century design styles to visualize how different the design could look. The first design style that i have drawn my lamp in is the Bauhaus style. This style shows the simplicity of the bauhaus design and how the structural features are not hidden…

After brainstorming alternatives to my project’s current aesthetic, I had decided to take a look at organic design, streamlined shapes, and cubism. All alternatives modify the main body of the design in some way, so I am thinking about ways of designing the body aesthetically at this point. I am thinking about turning my entire…

My existing web design fits clearly in the Modern aesthetics of the early 21st century. Clean colors, strong lines, geometry mixed with rigidity… it speaks to professionalism, organization, and confidence. But in order to cast my project in a few different aesthetics, I first look at the classy but gaudy artistic styles of the Art…

Hello Everyone, This week, I explored some more aesthetics and sketched them out using the Adobe Sketch app on my iPad Pro. The first is a bright art nouveau style aesthetic because I love the curves and a little bit of symmetry but chaos in the background depicted by the bright colors. The bright…

Having decided to make a trebuchet, a weapon from 12th century, for my final project, I find it quite difficult to fit the aesthetic I am looking to achieve into one of the 20th century design movements. May be it can loosely fit into Constructivism because of all the mechanical elements. Or may be it…

For my final project I decided to make a Zoetrope. It is a primitive animation device which behaves behaves very much like a flip-book. The three different aesthetics that I explored in this post are Art Deco, Art Nouveau and the Streamlined design of the 1930s. The way I reimagined my design into these very prominent…

As of now I have a minimalist, rust decay aesthetic for my knife. I want the handles hollowed out to be seen through and make it light weight. The rust/decay look will come from anodizing the metal. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/df/1b/53/df1b53b6b70e504d8727200c4bc4b840.jpg I would like to capture these colors but not the rust. Here are a few sketches of…

The most closely related 20th century design movement to the design of my jewelry box is Art Nouveau. The trees and flowers, combined with the smooth flowy lines, resemble those often used in the art of the Art Nouveau movement. It also fits into the Arts and Crafts design movement based on its simplistic, blocky…

For my windmill project, the main aesthetic I was attempting to achieve was an old countryside aesthetic. Windmills were invented several hundreds of years ago, and used to mill grain by farmers where they could be build into existing landscapes. The way I am planning on making it mirror this aesthetic is by building the…

If I had to base my aesthetic of “vineyard theme” off a 20th Century Aesthetic I would say that it fits closely with Organic Design. I want my coffee table to look like it is very natural and made completely of wood and other naturally occurring materials such as cork. The oak wood should be…

For my project, I am making a dummy roping calf out of PVC pipe. My goal aesthetic is centered around the PVC pipes and the colors I will be using. I want the PVC to give it a thrown together, keep it in the barn kind of feel. I will be using paint splatter as…

For those of you not familiar with my project, I am designing and building a levitation stand. Something that uses magnets to make another magnet appear to be floating. My current chosen aesthetic is futuristic (shown below), but I’m not liking how my initial designs are shaping up and turning out. For this reason, I’m…

For my project, I decided to use the engine valve cover as the body, going for an Industrially Chic Automotive aesthetic. I explored 3 different aesthetics: the art deco, art nouveau, and minimalism: Art Deco The art deco theme would be my first alternative choice. The clean, sharp lines would compliment the body of the…

For my main project, I would like to make a Rotary Candle Holder. I was inspired by one of my Aunt’s holiday decorations when I visited her last Christmas. She had a little tea light candle under a fan, which spun when the hot air off the candle rose past the fan’s blades. Physically, it…

My main project is to build a motorcycle-inspired heat rate sensor that you wear on your wrist which lights up if you are within a heartbeat range. The case for my sensor is based on the gas tank on a motorcycle. The design for this and for the gas tank follow the streamlining aesthetic. The…

The three 20th Century Design Styles I chose were: Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Modern. These styles are a more simplified version of the locket, meaning they don’t have the multidirectional rotations. They are just simple open-close lockets. As can be seen in the sketch, the first drawing is an Art Deco styled locket. The…

The aesthetic that I am trying to achieve on my final project is a western style worn wood. I like to think of it as a jewelry box that made the journey from the east coast to the wild wild west by wagon, enduring all the hardship of the trip. I still want the wood to…

Hello my dearest readers, In my previous blog post I mentioned that I wish to pursue a food aesthetic with my bed stand – well, today I am going to explore some more possible aesthetic avenues for my bed stand. I know you all loved the pizza aesthetic as much as I did but it…

Compare project aesthetics to 20th century design movements: My project aesthetics are the arabesque design and the inspiration of the incense burner(The Majmar) which I talked about in previous posts. Comparing that to 20th century design movement that I know about, one could be the fact that the arabesque and islamic art is still used…

Starting out the project, I wanted my design to have a bubbly aesthetic. After doing more research, I realized that Art Deco was basically the aesthetic I was hoping to achieve. Below are aesthetics I want to further incorporate into my design, one of which is Art Deco. I wanted to see what the outcome…

Curvy modern aesthetic – This design is very curvy, more so than the drawing actually shows. I want this design be a little more modern and inviting. but it will be a little hard to manufacture Arts and crafts style aesthetic– This design is basically a pottery style design. I think it would be cool to…

For my main project, I am planning to use the psychedelic theme, modified to fit within the Rick and Morty themes created in the show. Please see my Design Review post for more information. For this post I am exploring three other aesthetic options to use in my final project: steam punk, supernormal stimuli, and a…

Hello! The purpose of this post is to explore what my standing desk would look like with the current aesthetic, and then to apply three very different ones. Here is the design as it is now: The writing is a little hard to see. The base says “cement bottom”, the stem says “black iron tube”,…

The aesthetic I have chosen to do my project on is one of an Organic Design I want my project to give off a natural feel, more specific I think it would be really cool to have a Catan Board that will remind people of a tree that has been struck by lightning. The featured image is…

What have you NOT chosen, and why? Sketch your project applying 3 wildly different aesthetics from the timeline. Plus an update, if needed To pick an aesthetic for my final project I was fairly constrained in the direction to take the project due to the materials I have chosen. I want to build the chair…

My project definitely resembles the high-tech-matte-black aesthetic movement. The smooth matte black casing, the changing lights, and the effects of the mirror make for an extremely high tech appearance. Art Deco: Art deco is one of my favorite aesthetics. For this I would keep the cube shape but change the internal mirrors to create…

For my current design, I plan on using a “contemporary Asian” aesthetic, which involves a lot of nice stained wood, with a hint of contrasting bamboo colored wood. I’ve started to notice that the shape of this aesthetic is very “sharp”, and does not have a lot of rounded edges. Corners are squared off, and…

I would say my project has more of a theme than an aesthetic. My backgammon board is made of wood and I am decorating it with natural elements and giving it a “log cabin” feel. But if I wasn’t making something for all those hipster flannel loving lumbersexuals I would be making my game out…

The main aesthetic movement that has influenced the design of my final project is organic movement. I am planning on using both the shapes and curves used in this movement, as well as physical organic objects to achieve this design. Below, I’ve included a sketch of one possible way for me to create an organic…

For my project, I have decided to go for the aesthetic of a classic and organic look. I have decided to this based on the fact that my product will be going in a non-modern and very traditional dining room. I think that this will be better than a modern look, and so I am…

The 20th century design movement that is best embodied in my final project is pop art, a genre lasting from 1958 to 1972 that first emerged in Britain. This movement is characterized by a rainbow of colors, expressive forms, repetition, and vivid patterns. Furthermore, this genre often incorporates well-known personalities such as Marilyn Monroe, comics…
